YYComedy Festival Gala

The Funny1060 AM YYComedy Festival Gala is turning 6 and
your country is turning 150! To celebrate Canada's 150th,
we are gathering comedians that Calgary and Canada have
fallen in love with.
Who better to headline our gala than Canadian favourite,
Shaun Majumder. One of the country's busiest comedians,
we've finally been able to pry him away from filming This
Hour Has 22 Minutes to delight you in person. Shaun will be
joined by Canadian Comedy Award Best Male Stand Up Winner
Pete Zedlacher, one of Canada's most fun and versatile
performers to watch and Canadian Comedy Award Winner Laurie
Elliot, fresh off his set on Conan Nathan Macintosh, fresh
out of the writers room at Conan, Levi MacDougall and our
two most recent exports to Los Angeles, Amanda Brooke
Perrin who last year headlined at JFL42 in Toronto and
Christina Walkinshaw, who charmed the most charming at Just
For Laughs in Montreal.

To captain this ship is a wonderful Calgarian - Andrew
Phung - who is doing this city proud by taking home a 2017
Canadian Screen Award for his work on CBC's breakout hit
comedy, Kim's Convenience.

This lineup, in honour of our glorious country's momentous
150th year, will be as purely Canadian as our syrup and
twice as sweet.
